Home made pcp

[locksmith]

Thank you all!
(sorry for all mistakes-I’m not good in English )
I built this air rifle two years ago, then I was working on machine shop. It took me one year to design and create this gun.
I was thinking about this rifle every second and everywhere(even then I was sleeping
All machine work was done on lunch time.
Everything I made myself from scrap, except barrel, pressure-gauge, scope and that robber think on the back of the stock.
Later on I will take it a part (whole rifle) and make some pictures.
Wood is mahogany (two pieces of 1x6 glued together)
Everything else is still, brass (valves inside) just the clamp on the and of the barrel is titan. (don’t ask my why!- I do not now
.22
2.5kg(without scope)
It’s accurate 0.5 inch on 25m.
Bottle tested for 8000 psi. (hydro test)
muzzle velocity 150 metres per second
The best think about all this, is imagine something in your head, and after a while hold it in your hand (in steel) It was a good time…….

Locksmith, that is one fine project you have put together. Good success indeed, well done. Look forward to pics as you can of the disassembled rifle.
I build PCPs as well and am currently playing with a Condor copy. Just nothing quite like dreaming and scheming along with building airguns.
Welcome to the forum as well.

It is hard to say, but some basic ideas I get from me first air gun- crosman 2240 (it is steel me favourite gun)
I fill it from scuba tank 3000 psi.
Of course I do! I can’t stop thinking about my new gun! All metal parts (design) already in my head. Then I get access to the machine shop, I will start making a new gun! Much better then the old one!!!
I was thinking to make a CO2 rifle instead of PCP, because there is a speed limit in Canada .And it’s doesn’t make any sense to have powerful PCP rifle and shut 150 m/s. So maybe you guys can give me some advise. What should I make PCP or CO2. And the other think - the classic rifle or bullpup? (I’m planning to sale next rifle, that why I want to now.. )

Why not make a bigger calibre pcp? It doesn't make any sense to me, but with a fps-only limit on non pal airguns, couldn't you make a <500 fps .40 or so firing round or minnieballs?

Can anyone clarify this? I imagine that if you were accosted for shooting where you shouldn't be, it woudn't much matter, since you'd think that a "dangerous weapon" charge would do the trick, but it wouldn't be a firearms violation...

i think he is right . you should do a 9mm at 500f/s . or a 50cal . i will never go back to co2 . its not consistant in canada (cold hot) . sticking with pcp is best .
